If I were you I would make sure that you have the WHOLE day free. Go camping or something. Be somewhere without your parents and be sure to have enough time to come down before you see your parents (or anyone else you don't want to be trippin around) I would start with 2 hits. I took 7 hits of some plain white blotter my first time. Fryed balls for a good 8 hours before I even started to come down. My second time I only took 3, they were tripple dipped tho' (so I was told) but it was better than my first fry. Really good, really clean. I rember my jaw was super tight my first time... more than normal. I all depends on the quality of the doses. I have had some pretty "dirty" acid and I'v also had some super clean acid. You'll be able to tell the diff if you fry enough. I used to get the cleanest stuff in San Fransico. Blotter w/ Felix the cat on every 4 hits. Pretty cheap too. 75 a sheet. Thanx yogi if you out there!!
